Lilly colors the states on her map to show locations from where donations have come.

Nanny is her great-grandmother who is in the late stages of Alzheimer's disease. In preparation for the Alzheimer's walk Sept. 6 in Greene County, Lilly decided she would raise funds for Nanny's Team. With help from her mother, Amy Myers, Lilly recorded a 17-second cellphone video asking for a donation from someone in each of the 50 states. Amy then posted it to YouTube, expecting to maybe receive a few small donations.

"We thought, we'll share it with friends and family, if they know somebody. I put it out there, $1, $5, just to get her to color it in because she was excited about coloring all the states," Amy Myers said.

As of press time, she raised more than $900 from people in 31 states, Canada and Germany. Every time she gets a donation from a new state, Lilly colors in the state on her map.

"The states that are white haven't sent me any money yet," Lilly said.

Amy Myers said she is grateful her daughter is as caring and thoughtful as she is, and thinks this experience has taught her many valuable lessons.

"We're her parents and we think she's special, but it's nice to get the feedback that she is a special girl," Amy Myers said.
